IPM Named to CRN's 2017 Tech Elite 250 List

New York, NY, April 12, 2017 – IPM announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named IPM to its 2017 Tech Elite 250 list. This annual list honors an exclusive group of North American IT solution providers that have earned the highest number of advanced technical certifications from leading technology vendors, scaled to their company size.

To compile the annual list, The Channel Company’s research group and CRN editors work together to identify the most customer-beneficial technical certifications in the North American IT channel. Companies who have obtained these elite designations— which enable solution providers to deliver premium products, services and customer support—are then selected from a pool of online applicants.

Working as an advocate for clients, IPM consultants define, architect and execute the IT strategies that have powered some of the Northeast’s most successful enterprises for over 30 years. With a “Citrix Technology Professional” (CTP), a VMware vExpert and several VTSPs on staff, IPM’s team is educated on the most current technologies and perfects their skills through constant training and expert-level certification.

“This exclusive, ambitious group of solution providers boast some of the most advanced IT certifications available from top technology suppliers,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “They have adapted impressively to major changes in the IT channel, especially the shift to a more services-driven market, by expanding their skill sets and sharpening both their technical and customer service expertise. Congratulations to our 2017 list, whose robust investment in their organizations has earned them yet another elite designation—the CRN Tech Elite 250.”
